Housed in a Dominican monastery, this museum contains stupendous frescoes from the two and fourteenth centuries with great historical and artistic value.
The Matris Domini Museum occupies the old part of the religious building located on Via Locatelli, in the center of Lower Bergamo.
Open to the public since 2000, when you visit it you can admire the approximately 20 fresco tears, which can be divided into two groups.
The first includes the oldest ones that were in one of the rooms traditionally called the ‘Old Refectory’; the second group, on the other hand, comes from the apse of the monastery’s very old Romanesque church and consists of the frescoes that were not destroyed during the Baroque-style makeover undergone by the same church during the 17th century.
